Beyond Reforms Structural Dynamics and Macroeconomic Vulnerability

This publication contains a number of papers written by analysts from the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) which discuss development economics issues and options for improving the economic performance of Latin American countries, given the fact that, in many countries, recent liberalisation policies and structural reforms have resulted in macroeconomic problems, low investment and increasing technological gaps. The papers are divided into two sections which consider long-term economic growth and development patterns; and issues of macroeconomic vulnerability and its social effects.
